The Last Dark King

The air in the tower was as quiet as a tomb, and everyone seemed to be petrified, standing frozen in place.

It wasn't until the prophecy's light dissipated and the shining words went out that Rhodes came back to his senses. A shuddering cold wave rose from the bottom of his heart. The primitive fear flowed through his limbs and bones with the blood, making his hands and feet cold.

He hasn't had this feeling for a long time.

"Owner!"

Asa's voice sounded in his soul, very weak but full of uncontrollable joy.

"Take me back to dreamland. I feel a little uncomfortable, as if someone is approaching my neck from behind with a sharp machete..."

Rhodes then turned his gaze and found that the stone had been completely shattered and turned into countless ashes. Beachills' skull was also covered with cracks, but it was not broken yet. The remnant soul of Omer was still attached to it.

There was no change in the Book of Eternity, but Rhodes clearly felt that Asa's soul had become calm and solid.

He quickly picked up the Book of Eternity and the skull and sent them back to the dreamland.

Asa breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's still comfortable at home..."

It moved the pages of the book, and the suppressed excitement suddenly burst out.

"Master, Master, have you seen it? I have completed an extremely great prophecy, and the destiny energy solidified in my soul has been completely digested, all digested, hahahaha, there is nothing that makes people feel happier than this, I'm so hungry now that I could eat a ton of shit... uh, I mean a lot of destiny energy, damn Asa, his dirty hands must have touched me and polluted my spirit."

The Book of Eternity flapped its pages crazily and ran on the ground, like a silly dog ​​that had let loose.

"Master, I want the energy of destiny!"

Rhodes casually took out the Qi of Destiny and fed thirty portions before Asa stopped, burped and said, "So full, I feel like I need to take a rest."

After saying that, it jumped back to the bookshelf and began to sleep briefly.

"This is not digestion." The Book of Knowledge said, "It should be tiredness."

Rhodes nodded and said nothing. His spirit was still on the previous prophecy and on the five-line shining text.

He regained his energy from the dream, turned his eyes and looked at Soros. His expression became extremely solemn, and his eyes full of sorrow were filled with confusion.

"What the hell is going on..."

He murmured, noticing Rhode's gaze, and turned his head. The moment their eyes met, they both saw the shock and confusion in each other's eyes.

There is no doubt that this is an unprecedented prophecy. It is not only the only one in Rhodes' life, but also unprecedented among Saint Lund.

It completely revealed the first period of the ancient era, letting them know how the ancient gods were born, how humans and ordered creatures developed, and how they eventually perished.

This prophecy gave everyone an unprecedented shock. For the first time, they clearly understood an era, the most distant and mysterious ancient era.

However, they also accumulated countless huge confusions in their hearts.

The Patriarch's voice rang out in the air, speaking for everyone about the biggest confusion in their hearts.

"Why do catastrophes happen?"

From the description of the prophecy, they did not see any clues, but on a sudden day, when eternal night came, the god who controlled destiny among the ancient gods detected the tide of black mist.

Then the situation worsened all the way, and the situation deteriorated rapidly. Even if they were prepared, they were unable to stop it until the final battle of Godouin Mountain began.

When the dark spirit drove the ancient golden god of war to rebel, it all ended.

The most terrifying thing is that what they are experiencing now is exactly the same as what the ancient gods experienced.

As eternal night fell, the intensity of the black mist increased, and the situation continued to deteriorate without any signs of improvement. Even if they killed two black mist original bodies, nothing changed.

If they continue like this, they will soon usher in the tide of black mist, dark riots, and the catastrophe of extinction will also come in the Dark Age.

And they are far less powerful than the ancient gods. Among all mankind, only the King of Arno has 20 copies of the Law of the Origin, reaching the level of a quasi-king.

Others, classified according to a strict system, are all false kings, half-kings, or ants.

What is even more frightening is that in the dark era when black mist covers everything, the catastrophe is likely to be more powerful than the catastrophe in the ancient era.

What will they do to resist then?

Everyone felt a bone-chilling chill, and the Patriarch's deep voice echoed in the air.

"Arno must be contacted immediately."

"If there is any hope for humanity, it must be in Arno."

Everyone was shocked, and there was some life in their eyes.

Thoros said in a deep voice: "The tower is still not repaired, and the connection with Arnold has always been interrupted. However, the expedition team has been prepared. We will be able to travel as soon as His Majesty recovers."

The great prophet said anxiously: "But we are so far away from Arno, and it will take several months to get there..."

"No need." Rhode said in a deep voice, "With me here, we can reach Arno in half a day at most."

"long time?"

The great prophet's eyes widened: "A small half of the main continent is separated between Arno and us. The Great Black Domain has completely blocked our route. Even high-spiritual communications are often interrupted. Since anomalies occurred in the spiritual world two years ago, As the intensity of the black fog increased, our communication with Arnold was interrupted and has not been restored so far. If we travel, we will have to travel at least more than 320,000 yards. Do you know what this concept is? "

Rhodes briefly explained the spirit boat and the portal. If it weren't for the excessive speed and strong black mist that might even extinguish the spiritual lamp blessed by the Holy Emperor, it wouldn't take him half a day, just an hour would be enough.

All the prophets were stunned by Rhodes' words. Due to the long distance, direct contact between Saint Lund and Arnold usually only happened once a year, and if there was nothing particularly important, it would be once every three years.

But Rhodes was able to completely tear apart all the obstacles between Saint Lund and Arno. The tyranny of distance could no longer affect the exchanges between the two civilizations. What countless people dreamed of was about to come true.

"Woooooooo..."

The great prophet actually burst into tears. He wiped away his tears and snot and said, "Sir Rhodes, you are the ray of light in this darkness. Thank you for giving us hope in such a desperate moment."

As he spoke, there was a lot of crying, and Rhodes once again received a wave of humanity.

He scanned around and saw that there were many people here, and everyone had contributed a lot of humanity and humanity.

"It seems that there are no evil thoughts and doomsday cultists here. There seem to be surprisingly few ancient evil thoughts and doomsday cultists in Saint Lund."

He took another look at the large prophecy disk. This item had brought countless victories to Saint Ronde and saved countless losses. However, it was said to be the most valuable item in Saint Ronde after the Holy Fire.

"The spirit of darkness didn't try to destroy it. What on earth was it doing?"

Rhodes was lost in thought. Suddenly, he realized something. He couldn't help but look at Soros immediately, only to find that he was also looking at him.

The moment their eyes collided, Rhodes knew that they were thinking about one thing.

"If the black mist tide and dark riots were so terrifying that even the ancient gods could not withstand them and all perished, then how did the late ancient era come about? Why wasn't humankind extinct?"

Rhodes knew even better than them, because he had seen the Giant King Omir ascend the throne in the illusion of [Giant Power]. The ancient era at that time was still extremely bright, with humans, giants, dragons, and the legendary Elves, all live together.

At that time, the top power was only the four ancient gods. They did not even have a complete root source. They were only in a semi-god state, and no new strong men were born, because the path of the gods was sealed.

How did such a weak force push through the terrifying black fog and allow humans and creatures to continue?

Everyone was lost in thought, even the Patriarch.

"perhaps."

At this moment, the Book of Knowledge suddenly spoke in the soul.

"The black fog faded for some reason, giving the remaining humans a glimmer of hope."

Rhodes frowned and said, "Why do you say that? Why did the black mist fade?"

The Book of Knowledge turned over the pages: "Master, do you still remember the first sentence at the beginning of the prophecy?"

Rhodes raised his eyebrows slightly. He remembered that at the beginning of the prophecy, there was a word from the ancient god of space. He said: "The black fog has faded. This is a miracle!"

Suddenly, it was like lightning struck in Rhode's mind.

If the Ancient God of Space did not go crazy at that time, then this sentence obviously shows that the black mist already existed before he became the Ancient God.

That means that the black mist was not born in the ancient era. It was probably born in an earlier period.

For example, the legendary [Chaos Era] at the beginning of creation!

A trembling electric current spread along Rhode's spine, and he instantly realized that this was absolutely possible.

The ancient gods are just quasi-gods with broken laws of origin. Where is the true god with the complete law of origin?

Rhodes began to recall, and soon discovered that in any history and legends, there is no place for true gods. They seem to have never appeared in the long river of history, but some extremely terrifying existences have always affected them. this world.

He created all evil thoughts and the supreme will of Amidala, created the strange shadows and the strange ancestors of human demons, formed the Supreme Demon Lord Trestan of the Black Mist Demon, and the legendary Lord of Darkness. They are all incomprehensible and inexplicable horrors.

Rhodes once believed that they must have appeared in the ancient era, but there was no trace of them in the prophecy.

Then, there is only one possibility left.

[Chaos Era] is the era when the true god exists, and it is also the era when the black mist was born.

There is no doubt that its level of taboo far exceeds that of the early ancient era, so it was completely blocked by the black mist and completely erased, leaving only a name and a legend from the beginning.

In just one second, Rhodes told everything he had surmised, but a terrible premonition stopped him in time - that was his instinct. He knew very well that this level of taboo was absolutely impossible. It was told here.

Although the protection level of the main tower of the Prophecy City is second only to the Holy Fire Sacrifice, it is definitely not enough.

"Strengthen protection!"

Rhodes suddenly realized something and shouted.

"Quick, strengthen protection!"

In an instant, the Patriarch also thought of this level. A strange light almost immediately rose on the main tower, but it was still a step slower. The invisible ripples had spread, and the source feedback of the black mist had been touched.

"Oops!"

The Patriarch murmured.

"There has been a strange movement in the black mist. I feel the disaster. The disaster is approaching us. It is coming soon."

Rhodes' heart sank, knowing that things were not going well, and shouted urgently: "Can His Majesty the Holy Emperor recover soon? As long as 5 blessing lamps are used, I can reach Arno immediately!"

"no!"

At this time, the Patriarch still decisively rejected him: "The Holy Emperor of Fire is preparing the final plan, which must not be interrupted. Two days, we must wait for another two days, this is the shortest time."

He was silent for a few seconds and then said again.

"The time should be enough. The disaster caused by the source feedback will not be that fast. It will take at least one star cycle, which is seven days."

Rhodes asked anxiously: "What is the final plan?"

The Patriarch's calm voice sounded in Rhode's mind.

"Plan to be promoted to true king."

Rhodes was shocked in his heart: "True King? Doesn't His Majesty the Holy Emperor only have 18 copies of the Law of the Origin? How can he be promoted to True King?"

The Patriarch shook his head: "Your Excellency Rhodes, I will explain to you later. The most important thing now is what we need to do to survive this disaster."

Rhodes' heart sank. At the end of the prophecy, a few lines of text appeared, not sure if it was due to Omer's influence. It foreshadowed the arrival of the black mist and dark riots, indicating that the real catastrophe was about to come.

In fact, they have already predicted such a catastrophe of extinction. Whether it is the warning of the remnant soul of the ancient god, the prophecy of the source, or even the final prophecy of the giant god that has been delayed for thousands of years, they all undoubtedly indicate this. result.

However, the prophecies of the Book of Eternity are clearer and more definite.

As for the last two sentences in the prophecy, "Find the extremely evil person" and "Rekindle the original fire", this is not the first time that Rhodes has heard it. Whether it is the last words of the Pope or the last words of the previous Lord of Dreams, Hege Orr. His last words all mentioned this.

But he never really paid attention to them until now.

In the past, although he also attached great importance to it, on the one hand, his goals were far away and he had no clue. On the other hand, they vaguely believed that as long as they had stronger power, any disaster could be resisted.

Rhodes suddenly felt a little regret in his heart. If he had been wise enough before and made more preparations in advance, maybe he wouldn't be so confused now.

But he also knew that regret had no effect. The chaotic emotions passed by in a flash, and he immediately said: "Patriarch, do you have any clues about the extremely evil man and the First Fire?"

The Patriarch was silent for a few seconds and said: "If you want to rekindle the original fire, you must return to the main continent. We do not have such ability now."

"The extremely evil person has a deep relationship with the spirit of darkness. As long as we can catch the tail of this high-level evil thought, we may be able to find clues to the extremely evil person."

"It is difficult to do this with our strength alone. We must rely on the power of Arno. In short, the most important thing now is to get back in touch with Arno. Perhaps, the king of Arno, Jilo the Destroyer of Life Virtue, Dawn of Light Barrow, and new perspectives.”

Rhodes' heart sank. The patriarch's words were correct. The most important thing was to reach Arno.

There are final plans.

If the Holy Emperor of Fire really succeeds in reaching the True King, then this situation may not be the worst.

You know, none of the ancient gods have broken through that limit. If the true king is born, it may be able to protect them and find a glimmer of hope in this terrifying disaster.

After all, humans still exist, and such a powerful black mist has not completely wiped them out.

There must be some reason for this.

And this reason is probably the opportunity for their victory.

Rhodes and Soros looked at each other and saw a glimmer of hope in each other's eyes.

Obviously, he thought so too.

"Sir Rhodes, please," Soros said sincerely.

Rhodes was silent for a few seconds, and then suddenly smiled. The smile was so bright, as if he could see the sun rising tomorrow.

"No problem, everything is covered by me."

He patted his chest, and the thumping sound echoed in everyone's heart.

"I am the legendary black bastard, a tall, handsome and long man who has created countless miracles."

At this moment, just like the sun's rays rising here, a strong warmth rose from everyone's hearts, dispelling the bone-gnawing chill.

Suddenly, Thoros had the illusion of seeing the legendary true king, and that thin figure seemed to become extremely tall at this moment.

"Ah, maybe we really have hope..."

——

——

In the next two days, Rhodes was fully assisting Sheng Lund in making various preparations.

His portal has played an unimaginable role. The Holy Fire Sacrifice of Saint Lund has become the center of their logistics and transportation. Any person or material can pass through the portal and reach Saint Lund in an instant. Or any location in Trorian.

Rhodes also informed Qingyu and others about everything about the prophecy in a suitable way.

The Patriarch attached great importance to this, and a large amount of supplies and aid arrived at Trolian through the portal. In his plan, Trolian's defense was even more thorough and sophisticated than that of Saint Lund.

This is because, during this time, Saint Lund has basically completed the testing of Trorian, and they were shocked to find that so many human beings and super geniuses in Trorian have arrived. reached an abnormal point.

Due to their excessive clustering, they have had a great negative impact on each other. Limited resources can only be provided to a few who are the most powerful and have the least demand for resources. As a result, too many geniuses have been buried.

There are two views on this among Saint Lund.

The first is that Trorian is the hope for the future of mankind, and the other believes that it is caused by the distortion of the black mist.

But no matter which one it is, Trorian's promotion is a top priority.

Its importance is second only to Arno's trip and the final plan.

There is no doubt that Rhodes is the most important part of this.

However, due to the lack of divinity, he was unable to condense the second Law of Origin, nor could he ignite new stars.

Perhaps, I can only obtain this divinity after returning from Arno.

Rhodes thought.

Two days passed by in a flash, and finally, the Holy Emperor of Fire woke up from his silence.
